CD Case Glued to Ceiling!! Help!!

OK, here's a new one (I think). I put a CD case between the visor and the ceiling a few weeks ago. I tried to take it down yesterday and it is literally glued to the material on the ceiling. The CD case was clean, it must have been caused by heat in the car, but I've never had this problem in any other vehicle. I don't want to yank it because I'm afraid the material will rip or pull apart in some way. Any suggestions on how to remove this without doing damage?

Would a blow dryer work? Heat it up and see of it comes off.

Odd, very odd.

You could try heating it with a hair dryer and see what happens. If it's heat-molded to the headliner, that may release it.

If, by chance, it melted you're in for bad luck...

That's an odd one for you. What kind of CD holder do you have? There is a MINI driver that works over at Case Logic. If it's one of theirs, I'm sure he would like to know everything there is to know about your problem.
